I’m so sorry @op. I’m tired too for different reasons. You are going through a lot but you don’t have to go through it alone. 🥰
NotAtAllExciting@reddit
My condolences. Get better soon.

OP: damn. And yeah, strokes suck. If you want to talk about it, vent about it, whine about it, or just shoot the breeze, you can chat me.

Grief and a stroke are a LOT. Because I am a praying person, you are in my prayers.
I love the comment that said we’re sending our collective energy to you. I’m doing that too.
I learned a new word on Fresh Air the other day (well, new to me). Actually, it’s an obsolete 16th century word but we should revive it : “Respair”. It’s a revival of hope after despair. I like to think of it as that first glimpse of hope after a season of tiring sadness.
I wish you respair, friend.

Hope things get better. I'm right there with you. So fucking tired. I'm especially tired of eating the shit sandwiches that life hands me all too often. I can't stand the taste anymore. Hang in there.
ShartlesAndJames@reddit
I'd say you are due for some good luck now. Sending a hug
archedhighbrow@reddit
Tenderest of sympathy for your loss. May your recovery be a good one.
denvergardener@reddit
When people told us about the ailments of getting old, it was always individual.
Nobody warned us of the loss we would have faced by this age. Older family you expect. But not friends and coworkers.
Batmaniac7@reddit
I am so sorry. No words will help, but I and others have had similar losses and, eventually, came out the other side. How bad was the stroke?
yumajohn@reddit (OP)
I was aware really early. I haven't lost any functions but the right side of my face and right hand are kind of tucked up
yumajohn@reddit (OP)
Haha, not tucked...
DuchessOfLansdale@reddit
We know what you meant 😉 I’m very sorry for the shit-storm you’ve had to deal with. Grieving is a process for sure, but you’ll be okay. Hugs!
Batmaniac7@reddit
Understood. I am glad it was relatively (!) minor but still must have been scary. Physical therapy?
demona2002@reddit
We are sending you our collective energy. Sorry to hear you are going through all this.

I lost 13 people in my sphere in 2025, so far 2 this year. Some were elderly and lived long lives, many were Gen X. I feel your pain deeply and totally understand where you are. So sorry.

Im so sorry you're going through all of this. I hope you have friends and family to lean on during this time. Sending love and light your way...❤️❤️
OreoSpeedwaggon@reddit
Hang in there. I'm also used to bad things (particularly deaths of people close to me) happening in threes, but for as many times as it's happened, I've always come out the other side of it. You will too.
vengefulbeavergod@reddit
Oh, Sweetie, I've been wondering about you and hoping for better news. This is going to be one of those 'just get through it situations.'
Hang in there. And play Tetris
toddnks@reddit
Dude, I'm holding the line.
It gets rough. Losses of those you love destroying your soul are hard. I feel for you. I won't relate my own pain, it's deep, but I fully understand.
I'm praying for you. Unfortunately it's all there is that I can do from here.
earinsound@reddit
deep breath. sending hugs. be well. you will be.
Twizt1Up@reddit
Ease your mind, listen to Ramble On, and smoke a joint. It helps every emotion you're feeling. Trust me on this
Engchik79@reddit
Hugs friend, sorry you’re going thru this.
